The rambling old mansion he buys is charming, but something about it disturbs hima feeling made ever stronger when he learns that the house was the scene of a murder more than fifty years before.

The more Chris discovers about the case, the more convinced he becomes that Grace may have been innocent. Ignoring warnings to leave things alone, he sets out on a quest that takes him deep into the past and into a web of secrets that lie all too close to the present.
